Regional Lots
This coffee comes from the region of Cauca in the south of Colombia. Cauca is relatively flat when looking at other Colombian growing regions, which means the coffee produced benefits from more consistent conditions. Wilton’s regional lots are a mixed harvest from farmers nearby Granja Paraiso 92. Wilton sources freshly harvested coffee cherries from farmers. He then brings the cherries to his processing facility near a town called Piendamo, where he generally ferments the coffee for 36 hours. The coffee is depulped, washed and dried in his state of the art facility. Far More requested that Wilton produce a higher volume coffee with a more accessible price point, and more broadly appreciated tasting notes – his regional series is the result of discussion and testing mainly from 2021-2023, though feedback is always being passed along.
